Nel 1994 a Los Angeles trovai uno strumento chiamato SITAR GUITAR. Era realizzato da Jerry Jones a Memphis Tennessee US ed aveva alcune delle caratteristiche che stavo cercando, come il ponte Jawari che dava il tipico suono buzzing del Sitar. La chitarra Sitar aveva anche 13 corde di risonanza e ho fatto molti concerti con auesto strumento incredibile che possiedo ancora.
